Hi Lynn!

When trying to figure out transportation times to various points within the Walt Disney World Resort, I like to use the transportation wizard on ourlaughingplace.com. (Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the homepage for the link to the wizard.)

This is a good tool to use for approximate travel times. I usually add about 15-20 minutes to the times to account for the time spent waiting for a bus and other unforseen circumstances.

According to the transportation wizard these are the estimated times for transportation from Fort Wilderness:

To Hollywood Studios: 18-20 minutes by bus
To Magic Kingdom: 16-20 minutes by boat
To Animal Kingdom: 24-30 minutes by bus
To Epcot: 13-15 minutes by bus
To Downtown Disney: 16-20 minutes by bus
To Grand Floridian: 35-40 minutes by boat to the Contemporary and then monorail to the Grand Floridian
Contemporary: 12-15 minutes by boat

As I said these are just estimates and I would always add extra time just to be sure you arrive in plenty of time.

I hope this helps map out your daily schedules. Have a wonderful vacation!
